Customer Reviews

Great pharmacology text!

This book has been a great help as I didn't have separate pharm course in my AAS Nursing curriculum. We studied drugs by ourselves instead. The book gives you physiology of body system and pathophysiology of some diseases at the beginning of each chapter. Prototype drugs are described in detail, drugs closely related to prototype and drugs different from prototype are given later. The authors give you little MEMORY CHIPs for each prototype medication, which is great.

Well organized textbook

This text is very well organized. Every chapter starts with an overview of the relevant physiological concepts. They present a Prototypical drug for each class and then compare/contrast the other drugs in that class against the prototype. The amount of information contained in the book is overwhelming (due to the nature of the subject), but the easy to understand layout and consistent use of tables and figures make it much easier to digest. The explanations of how the drugs work are clearly written. The only drawback is that it doesn't contain a glossary, so I need to keep a medical dictionary nearby while studying.

Drug Therapy in Nursing

This book is great for Pharmacology in Nursing. I learn more from this book than I do than any other Pharmacology Nursing book there is out there. Dianne makes it so easy to learn Pharmacology and want to learn and in a way you remember it.

Workbook is very helpful accompaniment to book.

This workbook was very helpful while taking Pharmacology. It is a great review for each chapter.
